In 1977she left
her homeland for Germany. The following year she moved to Madrid where she has
lived and worked as an English teacher, translator and writer since. As a child
she got so carried away by the novels she read that she then could not remember
what went on in them, only the emotions she had felt. It is with those same
emotion that she writes children’s stories and poems.
With
Santillana she has published “Cabriola”, a reading book for second grade and in
the collection “Lecturas Amigas” have come out her “Recycled Stories”, a series
of stories in which daily objects get a chance to live a second life. She has
also written “Up&Up”, an English book for the Selectividad exam and
collaborated with other publishing houses such as OUP, Grazalema and Edelvives.
In 2000 her
story “The Conference” won the short story prize “Médico Juan Negrín” given out
by the Tertulias of the National Library.
